Some people on this list have down played the significance of medical
research when it shows evidence that high saturated fat and cholesterol
may cause heart disease, some cancers, complicate high blood pressure and
diabetes, etc.

At the same time most on this list seem to want to lose weight, if they
are overweight.  Why?  Do they believe that being overweight is unhealthy
for some reason, but simultaneously do not accept the aforementioned
medical research?  My point is, why not just say that being overweight
also poses no health risks, just as elevated cholesterol levels do not?
Wouldn't that present a consistent way of thinking?

Little icons from the ice ages of fat women seem to indicate that there
were fat women in the ice ages.  If it worked for cro-magnon man (and
woman) why not try to emulate that as well?
